Polling Rigging and Dialogue with a Stanford Professor
Adam Curry recounts a Facebook dialogue with the Stanford professor regarding the validity of political polls. Curry argues that polls are funded by media organizations to "rig the audience" and generate advertising revenue for campaigns. The professor surprisingly agrees with this assessment, leading the hosts to joke that Curry is the "reasonable one" in the conversation.
